At Long mountain centre  our environment is very precious, with beautiful unspoilt views, and no noise or light pollution. You can get a stunning view of the bright starlit skies on a clear night.

Ever mindful of preserving our own environment and the need to minimise pollution everywhere, we try to play our part by being eco friendly, and making it easy for our guests to recycle rubbish.

In addition we have a worm compost heap for organic kitchen waste. In the kitchen you will also find a range of environmentally friendly, phosphate and chlorine free cleaning materials and detergents. Such "green" cleaning products are equally effective as traditional ones; so why not give them a try during your stay with us?

Instead of buying bottled water use our filter jugs found in the fridge, which provide purified water with a clean taste. Not only does this save money, but it saves the earth’s resources by avoiding the need for plastic bottles.

Energy usage is carefully monitored and we would ask you to turn off all lights and appliances before you go out for the day to enjoy the spectacular scenery. To save energy, whenever practical, bed linen and towels are dried on the line outside, rather than in the tumble dryer. We also use low energy light bulbs where possible and outside lights are kept to a minimum  This means there is no light pollution and you can get an amazing view of the night sky on a clear evening.

Give the car a break during your holiday with us and explore the spectacular Shropshire countryside on foot, bicycle. Or why not try a pony trek the variety of landscape is vast and there are some fantastic short circular routes for all the family or plenty of rugged terrain for those who want more of a challenge.
